Good quality, I've been using it for 2 years. Quibids looked like it could be a lot of fun and the deals are definitely there.
I should have researched more thoroughly though. It wasn't until I had signed up that I discovered my trusted friends at PayPal were not invited. I Gotta Bow Out! Quibids was the first penny auction that I ever bid on years ago. At this point, it's become very difficult to 'profit' from bidding. It's not my favorite penny auction but it's not the worst either.
Free delivery does not apply if you live outside the US. In fact it is quite high, although postage is given in the description. So check the description if you are outside the US before you bid. Quibids is not in business to lose money. Ignore low price show for winning bids on apple stuff and almost all prices are locked at a low price but bids are not and your only cost is your bids. Now multiply. Items not locked or free are truly better but be careful as you need to figure you bid cost and final winning price.
If you have put your info in, check your bank account for random charges that you did not authorize. Awesome ceiling fans, camping equipment etc. Now they offer more bid auctions than those gift cards. I too have witnessed collusion from two bidders. It was so obvious that anyone could have seen it. I wrote to them a few times about it and got the same story. Their auction offerings of some nice products have drastically gone downhill. Also, I would always look up the retail value of items I was bidding on to verify their retail price and what others charged was comparable.
That is no longer the case. Very sad. It looks like they're going to go belly up soon. I signed a few days ago and all of a sudden, they took There are so many auctions company out there that do not charge anything upon registration! This company is fishy, avoid! Once upon a time QuiBids was wonderful. I even win a KitchenAid stand mixer with one bid.
Practically everything in my kitchen came from QuiBids. They had good quality stuff. They would have 14 auctions going at the same time. I do believe QuiBids has hired other people to bid against regular people driving up the price to make QuiBids more money. I also notice certain names of people bidding against everyone else but won't bid against each other then these people vanish, only to have 2 or 3 new people doing the same type of bidding.
I guess they had to change shifts. But, if you just watch and pay close attention, these people stick out like a sore thumb. Shame on you QuiBids. You were fair, but now you're a fraud. Months ago, I noticed two bidders in collusion to win auctions. They alternated bids against the other bidders, and never bid against each other.
It became very obvious as I saw this in many other auctions with the same two bidders. This is clearly against the Quibids policy. I reported this and was told that the information was sent to their compliance department. Nothing changed.
I emailed again, only to be told that their compliance department was investigating and had "high sophisticated" methods of discovering collusion. When I emailed again after more months, I was told basically to stop emailing them. The complaint was sent on, and there was nothing else that they could do.
I subsequently found out that other bidders had also complained about these same two bidders, to no avail. As I write this, they are still colluding in auctions and cheating other bidders out of winning. Sign up to receive our free weekly newsletter.

Original review: June 23, Months ago, I noticed two bidders in collusion to win auctions. Quibids claims people can buy expensive items for much less than the same item could be purchased online, yet outraged Quibids customers are all over the Internet decrying fraud.
How successful was I when I investigated Quibids? It may be important to note that there was a lag between my investigation and this publication. The Quibids system is confusing, and probably by design. Before I can get on with the business of explaining what I discovered, I need to make a few things clear.
To make sense of the Quibids auction scheme, there are three important facts which must be known about each auction: 1 The number of bids; 2 The ending sale price; 3 The value of the item being auctioned as set by Quibids.
They win the right to buy the item at a set price that correlates to the number of bids an item has received. That is easy enough to understand. In fact, most auctions seem similar—people bid and the highest bidder is able to buy the item at whatever cost she was willing to pay. To complicate things, in yet another way that benefits the house Quibids , each new token placed extends the timer on the auction so that bidders cannot simply compete to place tokens at the last second.
Are you still a little confused? So was I, but I dove in anyway. It seemed like a decent place to start my journey. Instantly dozens of other hopeful visitors were also trying to win the same auction. If there is anything redeeming about Quibids, it is that their system prevents individuals from spending more on bids than the value Quibids assigns to the auction item. I was not off to a great start in my Quibids adventure. This made me wonder about the declared value of auction items.
Some margins were better, but in all cases the Quibids prices I checked were grossly inflated. I was determined to win something, and win I did! I scored what looked like a big win, but how did that work out for me?
